HB1035

At Governor

Modify provisions related to the licensure of public accountants.

House BillKyle Schoenfish(R)Mike Weisgram(R)Introduced Jan 13, 2026Last action Feb 23, 2026

HB 1035 updates the definitions used in South Dakota's public accountant licensing law to clarify what terms like "client," "compilation," and "license" mean. The changes modernize the language—for example, specifying that a client relationship exists only outside of employer-employee situations, and refining how accounting compilations are described. These revisions help ensure the state's accountancy regulations use consistent and clear terminology.
